Gee, if I wrote that many paragraphs about your church, with all the allegations contained therein, with no citations, what would you think.
I think it is an attempt to smear the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by mormon haters. Same old crap, think up some lies and post it as truth.
Are the people who are Bishops in our Church perfect? Of course not. Are we evil sponsors of child abuse? Not on your life.
Give up.
So now the direct quotes of your leaderships’ own teaching are lies?... Typical mormon reaction. How far up in the mormon priesthood are you, anyway?
And don’t forget:
Other churches are led by men who can only speak as men. We, however, are led by Prophets of God who only speak as men!

“Are the people who are Bishops in our Church perfect?”
You said just the right words.
Is the problem Mormons? No.
Is the problem LDS(aren’t they the same thing?)? No.
Is the problem RLDS? No.
Is the problem Catholics? No.
The problem is people. People who turn to evil to attain power.
Warren Jeffs didn’t go on a search for a religion to support his ‘needs’, he was born into it.
So is everyone else, according to their rules, and pattern of strict inbreeding.
The Mormons/LDS/RLDS had gotten together and asked JEFFS and his group of FLDS members to quit their illegal practices, even if they were derived from the words of the founders.
The MORMONS/LDS/RLDS were doing the right thing.
Warren Jeffs and his LOYAL BAND said “NO”, and continued to do the WRONG THING.
It’s not about religion, it’s about the choices of men to commit evil acts.
Happens everywhere, every religion, every state, every city, every neighborhood, and in many homes.
If we are going to blame someone for allowing this alleged child abuse to go on, for so long, then it is US that is to blame.
We let it go, as a public, the first time the children were taken at the SHORT CREEK RAID. Because the public and church community rallied to support the FLDS, and against the LE, thinking they were picking on a religion.
Here, Fifty some years later, we are now arguing about the same thing, and it isn’t any truer now, than it was then.
First of all, I didn't write the post. Second of all, there were citations in the post.
I'm still waiting for an actual refutation of the quotes posted.
Can you cite for me just one instance of anybody at F.R. who has said or implied that they hate Mormons?
Thanks for trying, pal. CTR.
